6.023E23 - That's the number of atoms in a mole. Chemistry strikes again! :-) ------ We are the carpenters and bricklayers of the Information Age.

"That's the number of atoms in a mole" You can tell my Chemistry memory's gone - my first thought was, "Yes, but, baby moles have less atoms in them than adult ones, surely?". cLive ;-)	[reply]
